Unfortunately, if I remember right, most coal power plants are more radioactive than the minimum we allow for nuclear plants. While we could convert them, right now I don’t believe that is happening.

If only we could move the production of solar or wind energy closer to where it’s needed. In a different comment you ask how we would ship solar energy from the Americas to Australia. This is a huge problem and may never be solved, if only the sun was shining in Australia maybe we could just harvest the energy there…
